CH 2 || Tickets To Give Away Freedom
Nikhil
*******
I was standing on the stage like a dummy waiting for my bride. I was getting married and was made aware of this fact just a few minutes ago.
Isn't it quite astonishing?
I guess the decision of attending my friend's wedding was the worst I have made till now.
I didn't come back to India for this. If I would have known I would be tangled in someone's mess without any fault of mine I would have never come back. I had no idea my decision of coming back will cost me my life, my freedom.
I wish I would have not picked up that call that day.

I heard Adhyayan Bhaiya as he extended his hand towards me smiling sadly at the pathetic state of his sister.Holding his hand I made my way out with him where Arpit was waiting for us. My two brothers were escorting me to the stage where someone who decided to show some mercy on a pathetic, useless soul like me was already waiting.My grip on Adhyayan Bhaiya's hand tightened when the distance between me and that decorated stage lessened. My heart beats fastened up its pace and the sensations in my body due to anxiety were not helping at all.I thought I would faint anytime but I don't know how I was holding up myself.Bhaiya and Arpit had stopped in their tracks, and when I noticed, I found we reached the starting point of my doom.I was not ready to leave their hands and with the utmost difficulty, Bhaiya took out his hand from the iron grip hold of mine.Lookin

It was 4 in the morning and mom was surely going to scold me for being late. I had managed to prepone my interview and that's why I took the flight after the interview.The plan was I will reach home and sneak away to my room with Dad' s and Nirvana's help and Mom will not even know. The next morning I will lie that I had reached in the night only, and since mom sleeps very early, it means at 10, so she will not even know when did I even come.After I reached home, dad was already waiting for me at the door as I had texted him 10 minutes before.I took out my bags carefully and both of us went inside. Both of us entered and the room was dark and I was enveloped into a hug by none other than my brother Nirvana."Idiot, leave him. The mission

FLASHBACK SEQUENCE CONTINUED******Anvi******"How are you, Ms. Shekhar?" Even though the voice is the same, the warmth is lost."Good," I replied curtly."But I believe more than good," he replied smirking.Not able to decipher the meaning behind his words I asked, "What do you mean?""I saw you mingling with every guy at the party, you are still the same.""They were Ahana's fiance's cousins, I was just being friendly." I don't know why did I feel the need to give any explanation because anyway he will believe what he wants to."Oh, yes, friendly, but you know we both have a very different meaning of the word friendly." The conversation was going down the same lane, I had no wish to visit again. I didn't want to have any conversation with him and when I thought to move away he said,"For you friendly means luring rich boys in your trap.

Nikhil*****************Looking at the confused and shocked faces of everyone it was quite obvious no one there was aware of this sudden agreement, not even the girl I was marrying. She wasn't herself and even at the time of pheras[holy rounds of fire] she looked disturbed, she had no idea what to do. For a moment I thought maybe someone will come and stop the shit I was going through but no one bothered. I had to help her to move during the pheras[holy rounds of fire]. With every round of the holy fire, it felt I was signing a contract, a contract of matrimony that didn't seem holy to me.The pheras[holy rounds of fire] were done and I was made to tie the nuptial thread around her neck, the thread that was about to bind together. This was the first time she looked at me with her teary eyes almost pleading to stop all this. I was helpless and I believed so was she.

Ahana******"Bride In Blue...Bride In blue...Bride In Blue..." I yelled throwing all the newspapers on the floor that had only Anvi in it and the headline stated, "Bride In Blue". I was supposed to be the talk of the town but all I received was a small corner in the newspaper. All the while my marriage was the talk of the town but on my big day that bitch Anvi snatched it from me. I didn't buy a lehnga worth Rupees 40 lakh so that I could get a place in the corner of the newspaper. I wanted to be in the limelight and if not for that stupid girl I would have been on the television."Anvi Shekhar you did it again. I won't spare you this time. Last time I only snatched your love but this time I will snatch every important thing from you, everything that gives you happiness. I will make you suffer." I swore on my death.********************Anvi******I was following him, the guy in a red

His dejected voice made Shankuntala uneasy."Hmmm.""I am scared.""Hmmm.""And worried too.""Hmmm."

Nikhil asked as not only me, everyone else was quite stunned on the quantity of food he had filled his plate with."Nothing, you don't eat this much generally," Uncle replied."Dad, I am famished.
